Launch of Ithys Press

ITHYS PRESS is an international, fine-press publishing house exclusively dedicated to producing first editions of new works by groundbreaking writers and previously unknown or unpublished works by masters in the humanist tradition.

Each Ithys book is a genuinely international, artistic, intellectual, and aesthetic collaboration: our texts are unique, illuminated by original artwork, made with the finest materials, and set, printed and bound by undisputed masters of these arts. Most of our books are produced entirely by hand, letterpress printed and hand-bound. These extraordinary limited editions marry texts of cultural significance with original artistic expression.

Ithys Press endeavors to bring out three or four first editions each year, with each title appearing in deluxe and standard issues. Our first title was published in November 2011, our second in January 2012, our third will launch this Summer, and our fourth, this Autumn.

We welcome suggestions for new titles and submissions of original manuscripts and original artwork.
